Concern mounts for 50,000 undocumented Irish living in US

The Government has stepped up contact with immigration centres throughout the US amid mounting concern that 50,000 undocumented Irish risk deportation.

US President Donald Trump last week vowed to follow through on his election promise to crack down on illegal immigrants. His executive order introducing major changes to America’s immigration laws has caused widespread unease among the thousands of undocumented Irish living in the US, many of whom have been there for decades.
